Office Seating - Armrests and Headrests
Improve ergonomics and comfort in the office environment with unique position control solutions from Reell.  Adjustability is important to a user when sitting in an office chair all day and adjustability is important when designing a chair that will be used by people of all shapes and sizes.  If adjustment is simple, feels solid, and reliably stays in position, the user’s perception of the chair is improved and Reell and help add each of these to your design. 

 

Reell torque inserts and hinges allow designers to incorporate adjustability and robust position control to simplify office seating designs in a variety of ways:

Reell headrest solutions include TI100 torque inserts, which press in along the axis of rotation to enable smooth motion and solid position control.  Their high torque density allows for smaller overall size at the point of rotation, streamlining the overall look and providing designers more flexibility to create headrests that are easy to adjust, stay in position, and never require adjustment or service.  For headrests that pivot back and forth or move up and down to adjust for a comfortable fit and ergonomics, Reell torque inserts provide a simple, cost effective solution with a premium feel to enhance the user experience.  Choose from 5 different sized platforms in the TI100 line, each with a different torque range to create the exact motion profile to meet your needs.

Whether moving up and down or side to side, movable and adjustable office chair armrest designs benefit from Reell’s superior position control.   Simply pressed in place along the axis of rotation, Reell TI300 torque inserts eliminate multiple component assemblies that typically require adjustments during production.  Eliminate the loose feel that occurs over time with washers and friction discs type solutions.  Office chairs are a demanding application and Reell’s consistent torque and long life improve armrest design both at initial assembly for the manufacturer and over time for the user. 

 

 

Reell provides a variety of solutions to make specifying a torque solution easy for the designer, simple for the manufacturing team and ultimately creates the performance for a superior user experience.
